BL or Blackrock prison

[Bero207]

I was thinking about the miling machine, is it easier to access it from Bl or Blackrock? I'm not familiar with either maps but i think BL is less risky, i guess? there is one bear while in BR there are 3, what would yall recommend?

BL? Do you mean BI- Bleak Inlet? And there is no milling machine in BR- Broken Railroad.
(Most players are abbreviating Blackrock Mountain as BRM.)

Anyway... either one has its own challenges getting to and using the milling machine and ammo bench. Personally I prefer BI right now, but that is mainly because I am much more familiar with that region and where all of the landmarks and routes to them are. I am also more familiar with where the Timberwolfs tend to be in BI than I am in BRM, and i know where there are places to perch to pick them off from above, rather than having to deal with them on the ground.

Which map and workshop you use and which is better- really depends on your knowledge of the maps and your personal playstyle and strategy. I don't use either very often- I prefer bow and arrows + revolver to rifle + revolver any day, and I haven't messed with the flash-bangs much at all. In Grim Dawn I prefer to play tanky melee builds, in TLD I tend to prefer a stealthy lightweight Ranger.

thanks for correcting my mistake, totally forgot about Broken railroad, and yes i was talking about bleak inlet and i think imma go with it, BRM seems too risky for me especially because of those 3 bears and the gas in the mine, i think BL is far less risky, also how many arrows do you bring? Also do you have some tutorial to avoid those timberwolf wolves?

Coming form FM into Bi I think is the easier and safer route. If you know where to go, you can avoid timber wolves.
BI has the hassle of "parkour". Be sure to have a bedroll to sleep outside the cannery. I love that place! The milling machine is awesome. BRM seems good too but keeping your options open is best.

Thank you, i think imma go with BL it s FAR less risky than BRM, thanks for the bedroll tip. My main base is in PV, i moved to ML to Alan s cave, took the 2 ropes and now headed to BL, also i m so nervous cuz i don t know where the timberwolves at, are they near the echo tower? from the upper entrance through the ravine

BRM ammo forge is is way more far - if you live in ML and surrounds; but more easy and safety to access than the one in BI.

Going from TMW you can avoid the TWolves pack of this access area - is just one, that can by in one of three different place at once.

Just go for the rock bridge for access the prison, climb down the rope and go the the mine, get the code. Return by the same path.

Maybe meet the bear before the rock bridge - but just climb a ledge or fallen three.

You will need by-pass a normal wolf near the ropes for mine, and inside the prison will need bypass another normal wolf - the one near the main entrance; what is easy.

In BI you will need bypass two, maybe three TWolves packs, and have that dumb parkout to delay you.

there are 3 bears in BRM? i thought there were only two - one at the western side of the map, in a semi-collapsed valley, and the other beyond the gorge on the eastern side of the map on a plateau.

A third bear can spawn in the prison area, at the rope climb to the warden's office.
